Bmwcurves thanks for all that information. It's starting to sound like I would be better having it shipped here. There is a really good independent Bmw place right near my house. Once I get it here I was planning on taking it to them to get all the maintenance up to date. The owner said he did at minimum an oil service once a year. I will check with the mechanic tomorrow to see what else has been done. I know it has the original brakes-I'm not sure how long they normally last? One last question do you think the price is fair? From what I have seen I believe it to be especially if it as clean as the owner states. I will have at minimum 11-12k in it after everything has been done.
Thanks again for your help
